Met in early autumn of 2001

The seven-day National Day holiday has passed so quietly.

Xu Yichen was leaving in the afternoon on the [-]th. He brought a long-sleeved jacket and trousers for autumn, and Lou Meili packed him some home-made salted duck eggs and pickles.Xu's second child went to the fields but didn't come back. No matter what Xu Yihui and Xu Fang said, they wanted to follow him to the side of the road and wait for the car. Xu Yichen said it was useless, so he asked them to see him off.

"Brother, the county is not far from us, so you can come back on the weekend." Xu Fang held her elder brother's arm and discussed.

Xu Yihui raised his hand beside him: "I agree, the round-trip fare is only a few dollars!" He knew that his brother was reluctant to go home because of the few dollars for the fare, and wanted to lie to him.

Xu Yichen's chest was swollen and uncomfortable from what they said, just as the bus was coming, he took the bag from his younger brother's hand and put it on his back, and told the two of them: "Listen to your parents and study hard!"

"I know."

"Brother, pay more attention to yourself!" Xu Fang muttered.

Some of the people waiting for the bus next to him knew the three sons of Xu Laoer, and they also knew that the eldest son of Xu Laoer's family had no money to go to college, and now he was going to work.Looking at Xu's eldest son, those people shook their heads in regret.

After waving his hands and getting into the car, Xu Yichen covered his eyes with his hands, not wanting other people in the car to see his red eyes.While telling myself silently in my heart: It’s no big deal, everything will be fine, now it’s only temporary, everything will be fine!

……

After Xu Yichen arrived at the station, he walked all the way along the street to No. [-] Middle School.At the gate of No. [-] Middle School, he saw Xun Lang unexpectedly. Xun Lang was standing beside a black car, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and he was talking to the people in the car with his head down.

Xun Lang went back to Beijing with his grandfather during the seven-day long vacation, and he only came back yesterday.Xun Lang's grandma finally looked forward to his grandson's return, but Xun Lang was coming to school today, and the old man was not happy at that time, and he wanted to send his grandson to school no matter what.Xun Dong and his wife couldn't resist the old man's stubborn temper, so they had to agree and told Uncle Li to drive carefully.

Mrs. Jiang sat in the back seat and talked to Xun Lang who was standing outside. It was nothing more than remembering to wear more clothes when the weather was cold. If you are not used to eating in the cafeteria, ask your father to give you more money to eat outside. Class words.Even though Xun Lang's ears were callused, he still stood there and listened respectfully.

Xun Lang nodded his head and turned his eyes to the side, and suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind.He stared at it carefully for a while, and it was true that Xu Yichen was right.

"Grandma! Grandma! I have to go up. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I get home!" Xun Lang bent down and said to his grandma who was sitting inside, and then pointed his head to Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, drive slowly on the road My grandma is a bit motion sick, please be more careful!"

Uncle Li nodded: "Don't worry."

Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand and wanted to talk, but she saw her grandson turned around and ran away after picking up the bag, chasing the thin boy who was walking slowly in front, she seemed quite excited.Sighing, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Let's go."

Uncle Li responded, reversed the car and drove away slowly.

Xu Yichen was slapped on the shoulder suddenly, his body shook, and he turned around to stare at the man with a flamboyant smile.

Seeing that he wasn't surprised by his reaction, Xun Lang laughed and said, "Did you see me just now?"

Xu Yichen looked at him like an idiot, ignored him and continued to walk up.Standing behind, Xun Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Yichen's backpack, which was carried behind him, and pulled it.

"...!!!"

Xu Yichen was unprepared for a moment, and just happened to raise one foot again, so he was unsteady standing on one foot, and was pulled by Xun Lang for a while, and he took several steps back.The two were standing on the slope again, Xu Yichen almost fell back and sat on the ground due to inertia.

Xun Lang knew something was wrong when he finished talking. Seeing that Xu Yichen was about to fall, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Xu Yichen in shock, and put his arms around Xu Yichen's chest to hug Xu Yichen. Must suffer.

There were quite a few students going back and forth on the slope at this moment, and some students stopped to look at Xu Yichen and Xun Lang with curiosity on their faces.

Xu Yichen lay down in Xun Lang's arms, turned his head up to face Xun Lang's face, Xun Lang felt guilty from seeing him with his clear eyes, he hugged him hard and stood up.

"...Are you okay?" Xun Lang coughed and said.

Xu Yichen didn't even bother to say that he was "ill" this time, so he grabbed the strap of his backpack and turned around to leave.Xun Lang shouted, Xu Yichen ignored him, Xun Lang raised his eyebrows, and followed behind him... Just followed Xu Yichen to the canteen.

Xu Yichen slandered in his heart all the way: friend?How could I treat such a naive person as a friend? ? ? ?

When he walked through the playground and was about to go up the stone steps, Xu Yichen finally couldn't help it anymore, turned around to stare at Xun Lang, and stretched out a finger to fix him in front of him.Xun Lang put his hands in his pockets and looked at the knuckle finger in front of his nose.Xu Yichen bit his lip and pointed his fingers at the male dormitory building on the other side.

Xun Lang didn't follow his fingers this time, but stared at Xu Yichen's face with a flickering light, curling the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xu Yichen took a breath and said, "Did you go to the wrong place, the boys' dormitory is over there!"

Xun Lang shrugged: "I know the dormitory is there."

"Then why are you following me?" Xu Yichen felt that he was running out of temper with Xun Lang.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xun Lang suddenly bypassed Xu Yichen and walked up the stone steps by himself.Xu Yichen turned around and stared at him as he disappeared into the blind spot, and after a while, he stomped heavily and walked up.

Xu Yichen walked up the stone steps and saw that the door of the canteen was already open. Through the window, he saw Xun Lang standing in front of the counter shopping, and Zhong Yan standing behind the counter smiling with crow's feet all over the corners of his eyes.

"But I know...the reason why you didn't tell me that night."

"I remember you told me the prices of those things, and after buying them twice, I knew why you insisted on asking me for the prices, and I had to count the money I got back."

"Oh! If you don't tell me, I really don't know."

"You are angry because I didn't do what you said, but you know what? If I suddenly changed, they should guess that you did it, right? After all, you are the biggest suspect! And even if you really didn't tell Mine, they will think you did it too. Then you should be in trouble."

"Rather than make it hard for you to do it, it's better to treat it as if you don't know what to do."

What Xun Lang said that night echoed in his ears, Xu Yichen stared at Xun Lang who came out after paying the bill, and pursed his lips in silence.Xun Lang walked towards him, and when he passed by Xu Yichen, he looked at him and smiled softly, Xu Yichen glared at him excitedly.

Really, knowing that he was slaughtered, but still... pretending not to know because he was afraid of hurting others.

Xu Yichen turned around and looked at Xun Lang who was walking down the stone steps to the boys' dormitory, and took a deep breath.

For the sake of being taken advantage of by me, let's forcefully treat you as a friend!

After making this decision, Xu Yichen walked towards the hut with ease, even the sadness when leaving home disappeared.
